The Light of My Life Chapter 7
I only took the job as a cleaner because I had to get into the company. Just as I had predicted, Stuart took the bait. It was now the perfect opportunity for me to tell him the truth."Mr. Holden, to be honest with you, I'm Edgar Graham's wife. I only wanted to get evidence that he had been cheating on me with his colleague, Irina Upton. You'll see that I'm telling the truth once you check my phone."As for why I could calculate the data, it's because I used to help Edgar with similar data before, so I'm familiar with it."After hearing what I said, Stuart frowned in thought. He seemed only half-convinced. With a slight smirk, he instructed, "Alice, check her phone for all the data she took!"I handed my phone to Alice, and soon, Edgar's chat history was on full display.The first chat was between him and his friend.I began trembling with rage once I saw what the texts were about. I got goosebumps all over, and even my stomach twisted in pain."So what if she's a high-achieving

The day Edgar came back from his business trip, I was waiting for the elevator with my cleaning cart. The elevator was connected to the basement parking lot, and when it opened on my floor, I saw him and Irina inside, chatting away happily.It turned out they'd been spending all that time together under the guise of going on a business trip.Whenever Edgar went on a business trip, he would always voluntarily inform me of his daily itinerary. I thought it was because he didn't want me to worry, but I now knew that he only did it because he didn't want me to suddenly ask him about his whereabouts. This way, he could do whatever he wanted in peace.Edgar turned his head forward, and when he saw me standing there in the cleaner's uniform, his expression stiffened. He immediately put some distance between him and Irina.His eyes widened in terror, and all the color drained from his face. It was as if he'd seen a ghost. His disbelief was palpable.Soon after he exited the elevator, my p

By the time I got home after picking Nate up from Noelle's place, Edgar was already waiting for me with a foul expression on his face. I guessed the meeting with the HR department didn't go too well.As soon as he saw me enter the house, he found himself the perfect outlet to release his fury. Wagging his finger at me, he bellowed, "Celia! Am I your husband or not? You got a job without telling me! Why did you hide something so major from me?"Nate was so terrified that he drew back and hid behind me."You're scaring Nate," I warned Edgar.Nate was important to Edgar, so he swiftly calmed down.After dinner, once I put Nate to bed, Edgar took me by the hand and said, "Quit the job, Celia. Let's give Nate a baby brother. How's that?"I took my hand out of his and went to the kitchen to wash it a few times."I'm not quitting. I don't think it's embarrassing to work as a cleaner."Seeing how stubborn I was, Edgar pursed his lips, seemingly to hold back his rage."Think about it.

Edgar didn't come home that night. The next morning, after I'd taken Nate to the kindergarten, Edgar's mother, Pansy Birch, arrived from the countryside.She pounded on the door, looking like she had come to interrogate me.Immediately, she launched into an endless barrage of criticisms."What's wrong with you, Celia? Why did you suddenly decide to take on a job? Your priority right now should be to hurry up and give Edgar a second child. Look at you! What on earth do you think you're doing? You're only going to humiliate Edgar by working as a cleaner! The best thing you can do with your life is stay home and raise the kids!"It was clear that both Edgar and Pansy were taking advantage of the fact that I didn't have a family who could stand up for me.Giving birth to Nate had left me in poor health, but throughout these years, Pansy never bothered to come and visit us, not even when Nate fell sick. Yet, she was showing up now to stick her nose into our business.In the past, Edga

With Edgar gone, it was the perfect opportunity for me to focus on doing a good job at work. I threw myself into learning and adjusting to the new role, making up for everything I'd lost by staying out of the workforce for four years.Recalling the agreement I'd made with Stuart, I knew I couldn't lose.Every day, once I was done with my cleaning duties, I trailed behind Alice and accustomed myself to the extensive work responsibilities she had.Slowly, I went from being flustered to calm, confident, and even proficient at handling such work.Once the month was over, I could see a look of approval in Stuart's eyes."You're the quickest learner I've ever met, Celia," Stuart said.For some reason, it felt a little awkward hearing praise from him.In any case, I succeeded in becoming his second assistant, and that job came with a handsome salary.Things were also going well with Emma's side of the plan.While Edgar was off at the subsidiary company, Irina met a man who was secret

During the mediation session, Edgar came with not just his lawyer but Pansy and Irina too.Irina had a noticeable pregnancy bump. The child was going to come soon enough. There was no way to delay a pregnancy. Knowing that they were even more eager for the divorce to happen, I knew I had an even higher chance of getting what I wanted.When Edgar and Pansy saw me, they both glared daggers at me.I requested to talk to Edgar privately. Assuming I was here to plead with him, he crossed his legs and leaned back in his chair."I'm fine with getting a divorce, Celia, but the house and Nate are both coming with me. I've been the family's sole breadwinner all these years, so you're not taking any of my money with you!"Edgar truly embodied what it meant to be shameless beyond words.Sneering, I dumped all evidence of his illegal activities before him."You have two choices, Edgar. The first is to give me full custody of Edgar and half the monetary value of our current house and the hous

I was able to buy a house by the river with the money I got from the divorce and pay it off in full. Nate and I happily moved into our new home. Emma stayed nearby, so she often dropped by for a visit.Life was simple and serene.Alice got pregnant, but due to an elevated risk of miscarriage, she had to stay at home to avoid additional strain. The company gave her half a year off, and I took over her responsibilities.Both my working life and my personal life were proceeding on the right trajectory.A few months later, Irina gave birth to a son. Edgar started showing off his fatherly love for his new child on his social media accounts.This was when I gave him a present—photos of Irina and that "scion" getting it on in bed. It just so happened that the photos were timestamped. It had taken place one night precisely nine months before his new son was born.Later on, I heard that Irina and Edgar started getting into physical fights. Chaos reigned at their place, and despite the pol

Just moments ago, I accepted a delivery order. My task was to pick up the order from the drugstore and deliver it to Jubilee Heights, a gated community. I was about a mile away from the drop-off location when I saw the order details.The customer, Ms. Irina Upton, had purchased special protection product and added a note, saying, "Please deliver it within 30 minutes. You'll be getting an additional tip. Thanks."It was noon. Were they in such a rush?I recently started working as a delivery person, keeping it a secret from my husband, Edgar Graham. It was now my fifth day on the job, and I'd gotten accustomed to the delivery process.After riding the electric scooter for about 15 minutes, I arrived at Jubilee Heights. The security guards didn't stop me, so I rode right to the delivery address—Block 18, Unit 802. I was familiar with this unit. Edgar and I once rented it seven years ago.When I knocked on the door, it was answered almost immediately. The first thing that I saw was a

Right from my first day on the job as a cleaner, I made it a point to get to know Janice White, the cleaner in charge of the sales department.Seeing that I was young and a willing learner who often lent her a hand, she slowly warmed up and opened up to me. She even began sharing about her personal life and office gossip.The day before Edgar was scheduled to return from his business trip, Janice had an urgent matter to attend to, but she didn't want to take the day off. I told her I would help tidy up the sales department for her.The cleaners were the only ones with access to the key to Edgar's office, apart from him.That day, I left Nate with Noelle and came to the office two hours earlier than usual. Then, I got the key to Edgar's office under the guise of needing to clean it.There was a photo of Nate on his desk. The drawers beside the desk were locked. Even after scouring the entire office, I didn't find the cell phone anywhere.However, I saw two different charging cable

Emma acted fast. In less than two days, she uncovered every single detail about Irina's life.She'd graduated from the same college as Edgar and was his junior. Less than a year after graduation, she joined the same company as him. She wasn't a local either, and she came from an ordinary, middle-class working family.During college, she'd dated a few guys from rich families, but even her longest relationship only lasted six months. She was dumped every single time. Her history showed that she specifically tried to date rich men.It seemed like she believed that Edgar was a rich man.And, to my shock, she wasn't renting the apartment. According to the deed of the apartment, it belonged to Edgar's mother! He'd already paid it off in full, and he did it two weeks before we registered our marriage!At the time, we'd only just recently graduated. After my mother's death, I no longer had any contact with the rest of my extended family.Edgar told me his family was facing some financial
